Cities around the world are increasingly developing plans to adapt consequences of climate change.These will have important for urban populations because they likely reshape and reconfigure infrastructures, services, decision making processes.It is critical that these adaptation developed in a way just.Criteria was can be used assess justice so processes, priorities, impacts address needs most vulnerable populations.Further, mechanisms outlined been proposed as responsible producing...
Constraining global climate change to 1.5°C is commonly understood require urgent and deep societal transformations. Yet such transformations are not always viewed as politically feasible; finding ways enhance the political feasibility of ambitious decarbonization trajectories needed. This paper reviews role social justice an organizing principle for feasible A lens usefully focuses attention on first, protecting vulnerable people from impacts, second, disruptions transformation, finally,...
Urban politics research has not kept pace—empirically or theoretically—with city governments’ engagement with climate change policy. Thousands of cities globally have made commitments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and are taking steps toward these goals. In the United States, examined motivations for such actions described some implementation challenges encountering, but we lack a theoretically informed understanding how intersect politically existing interests, institutions,...
Abstract Independent lines of research on urbanization, urban areas, and carbon have advanced our understanding some the processes through which energy land uses affect carbon. This synthesis integrates these diverse viewpoints as a first step toward coproduced, integrated framework for their relationships to It suggests need approaches that complement combine plethora existing insights into interdisciplinary explorations how different urbanization processes, socio‐ecological technological...
Abstract While there are excellent policy and academic foundations for thinking about making sense of urban climate action questions justice change independently, is less work that considers their intersection. The nature dynamics of, requirements for, a just transition (JUT)—the fusion concerns at the scale—are not well understood. In this review article we seek to rectify by first examining different strains scholarship (environmental, energy, climate, urban) informing should inform JUT....
Abstract This paper outlines the contributions of social science to study interactions between urbanization patterns and processes carbon cycle, identifies gaps in knowledge priority areas for future scientific research contributions. While previously studied as a unidimensional process, we conceptualize multidimensional, biophysical process driven by continuous changes across space time various subsystems including biophysical, built environment, socio‐institutional (e.g., economic,...
We set forth an argument for the integration of social science research with natural and engineering in major infrastructure investments addressing water science. A program integrated observation resources offers great opportunities to address several environmental “grand challenges” identified by National Research Council, including climate variability, institutions resource use, land use dynamics, their importance hydrologic forecasting. argue that such a has potential advance both...
As cities develop climate-change policies, they are likely to engage with and produce new science information. What influences the choices make about this engagement? Our aim is understand differences in ways city governments structure their relationship expertise, extent which these reflect broader governance orientations towards climate change as a policy area. The processes of Delhi Mexico City used case studies. two have made different formality science–policy interface, demonstrate that...
Abstract The policy choices of local governments are highly relevant today, but we know relatively little about how or when choose to respond a given issue and why this might vary between areas. A key variant for is the proximity issues: they engaged in solving local, regional, global problems. Using evidence from United States on issues social inclusion, watershed management, climate change, demonstrate that drivers response with problem. When an influenced by problem severity; global,...
Cities are taking a leadership role in addressing global climate change and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but policy innovations needed to help cities move from goals outcomes. Pilot projects one means by which experimenting with new ways of governing financing mitigation. In this paper, we develop framework for understanding the pilot urban innovation: their emergence rationale, they ultimately scale up out reduce GHG emissions. We use evaluate project retrofitting social housing...
Abstract Contaminated source water for cities contributes to negative human health impacts and rising treatment costs. Nutrient pollution is the primary of surface quality impairment in United States agriculture largest nutrient (specifically nitrogen or nitrate) entering waterways. Solutions contamination have historically centered on removal at drinking plant, which often requires additional investment. Pollution prevention through watershed management may be more cost‐effective some...
ABSTRACT The cost of basic drinking water services has implications for affordability, investment capacity, and public health. fragmentation in the United States makes it difficult to reliably track compare what customers pay services. This paper uses a new, national dataset examine social, political, environmental, institutional drivers services, measured as households 6000 gal per month. We find service costs vary widely across States. Costs are generally higher smaller more liberal cities...
Climate change, and sea level rise (SLR) in particular, poses new challenges for urban politics. In this paper, we use exploratory case studies of various communities along the Eastern seaboard United States, focusing primarily on Boston secondarily New York City Norfolk, to develop hypotheses regarding behavior local growth machines (GMs) response threat posed by SLR property values. Part analysis is a critique existing GM literature, which tends simply assume membership cohesiveness. By...
Objective Comprehensively characterize subjective otologic adverse events following teprotumumab administration with standardized patient reported outcome metrics. Understand the impact on patients’ quality of life and perception medication. Study Design Retrospective case series. Setting Tertiary referral center. Patients Thirty-two adults thyroid eye disease treated from 2020 to 2023. Main Outcome Measures Subjective hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness (Dizziness Handicap Inventory),...
Extreme heat kills more Americans than any other weather hazard. Residents of manufactured housing – in both urban and rural settings are likely those types to need medical attention due exposure at home. This study thus examines the drivers residential thermal disparities for residents across US. We use data from 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey 2021 American Housing holistically assess previous studies. do this by examining four potential disparities: air conditioning (AC)...
Scholars have focused on understanding the motivations behind urban authorities' efforts to respond climate change, yet determinants of institutional response capacity are less well known, particularly in Latin America. This paper develops a framework understand political–economic through an examination change governance Mexico City and Santiago, Chile. We ask whether being frontrunner (Mexico City) is indicator greater capacity. Although has slightly higher levels than both faced with...
